20 finalists. Focusing on how agencies best leveraged technology to enhance collaboration, the “Top 5” winners were
further evaluated on the following criteria:
“We are pleased that the FAA’s KSN program was a “Top 5” winner of the Excellence.Gov award” said William Rogers, CEO
of CorasWorks. “The FAA is one of CorasWorks’ long-term Federal Government customers. It is gratifying to see the
collaborative workplace environment they have built, which serves thousands of constituents, being recognized as a
